The Dispatch last night received the fol-
lowing from its Washington correspon.
dent:
According to instructions your. corre-
spondent called at Mr Blrbour's residence,
on Capitol Hill, tonight aud was cordially
received. In reply TO the question If there
was any possibility Of a change in the place
OF meeting Of the convention he replied
"No." and added that he had not heard
Of any proposed change, and that the action
OF the Executive Committee had been ac.
cepted generally in the state.
To correct an erroneous impression now
widespread, the DiSpatch desires 10 state
most positively that neither our City Com.
mittee n0r our people have ever wished to
induce the state Committee to substitute
Richmond for Roanoke for the mere sake
OF having the convention here. The recent
action OF the City Committee was mainly
intended TO silence the report that Rich.
mOnd did not want the convention to meet
bCre.'
A. Roanoke August the 4th Richmond,
Manchester. Henuco, Hanover. and Ches-
tcIfield at least will be represented by full
delegations, and our members expect TO
have a very good time indeed.
